CONT

As the learning algorithm searches for the optimal settings of free parameters (called the global optimum), it sometimes gets trapped in a poorer configuration (called a local optimum) that is better than similar solutions but still not the best that is theoretically possible.

CONT

There is no efficient way for avoiding local optima in general. ... Satisfactory performance usually requires only that the machine reach a good local optimum.
